When we started this site, one of the primary aims was to help people reconnect with the food they eat. If you are familiar with methods of farming, growing and raising animals, then even when you buy your food from a market, with no fancy packaging and symbols, you can ask the right questions to make sure that you are feeding your family the food you know is good for them. So we have included some links here to sites that explain the jargon behind logos and symbols.
There are also links to some of the organisations out there who are really giving their all the help and support local British food. Some of them are large organisations, and some are small but they are united in their efforts to defend British food and the people who make it great.
